Miller Company, Landscape Architects was commissioned by the City of San Mateo to design a new state of the art custom play environment for Beresford Park. The new play area is designed to serve various age groups and is set in a natural environment with internal shade trees and a surround of boulders arranged for scrambling and interactive socializing. Three centrally located rustic wood-clad HAGS climbing towers feature internal Berliner nets and timber structures challenging playground users to reach the upper platforms. Stainless steel Berliner tube slides wind downward from the HAGS towers to the earth toned resilient surface providing a safe cushion throughout. Monkey bars connect the towers at the ground level while a long Berliner climbing wave bridge emerges from mid level and snakes its way up and down through the play area. New belt swings are provided for older children along with the area’s spinning features known as “Spin City” anchor one side of the playground. Tot swings, crawl tunnels, climbers and sand and water play scaled for younger users occupy the early childhood age part of the playground.
